How many gallons of fuel equal one pound?
About 1/8th of a gallon. Motor oil weighs a bit less than 8 pounds to the gallon.
What would happen if you launched at a faster speed in to orbit?
Depending on the direction in which your speed was pointed, and at what stage of the launch it was faster, any of these could happen: -- you would get to orbit sooner -- you would settle into a smaller, more circular orbit -- you would settle into a larger, more eccentric orbit -- you would not orbit at all, but escape the Earth completely and never return
How long does it take to get to orbit?
It can take as long as you want; if we ever get around to building a Beanstalk (aka space elevator) you *could* literally walk up to orbit. The limits are how much stress (in terms of G-forces) your payload can take and how much fuel your rocket can carry (and remember that you need fuel to get that fuel to fly). Although Project Orion proposed using nuclear bombs as propulsion, rather than rockets, but that's not something you want to use in Earth's atmosphere. Anyway, assuming limitless weightless fuel (which is kind of impossible), a rocket could climb at one inch per second and eventually make orbit; the problem is that in the real world there ain't no such animal. Short answer: NASA's Space Shuttle typically took eight to ten minutes to reach orbit.
How many gallons of diesel fuel is in 207538 pounds of diesel fuel?
To convert pounds to gallons for diesel fuel, you need to know the density. On average, 1 gallon of diesel fuel weighs about 7 pounds. Therefore, 207,538 pounds of diesel fuel would be approximately 29,648 gallons (207,538 pounds / 7 pounds per gallon).
How much does 1 liter of diesel fuel weigh in pounds?
On average, 1 liter of diesel fuel weighs around 2.65 pounds.
How many pounds of oxygen are required to burn 1 pound of No fuel oil?
Around 13 pounds of oxygen are needed to completely burn 1 pound of No fuel oil, as per the chemical equation for the combustion of the fuel.
How many pounds of oxygen are required to burn in 1 pound of No.2 fuel oil?
Approximately 320 pounds of oxygen are required to burn 1 pound of No.2 fuel oil. This is based on the stoichiometric ratio for the combustion reaction of fuel oil.
How many pounds of oxygen are required to burn 1 pound of 2 fuel oil?
Approximately 16 pounds of oxygen are required to burn 1 pound of 2 fuel oil. This is based on the stoichiometric ratio of oxygen to fuel oil for complete combustion.
How much fuel did it take to launch the challenger shuttle?
The Space Shuttle Challenger used approximately 1.3 million gallons (about 4.9 million liters) of propellant for its launch. This included about 500,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 200,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen in its main fuel tank, along with the solid rocket boosters that provided additional thrust. The total thrust produced at launch was about 7.8 million pounds. This massive fuel requirement was necessary to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and propel the shuttle into orbit.
A good fuel-air mixture for an automobile is?
15 pounds of air to 1 pound of gas
How many gallons of fuel equal one pound?
About 1/8th of a gallon. Motor oil weighs a bit less than 8 pounds to the gallon.
How much fuel to put one pound in space?
It would require a significant amount of fuel to put one pound in space, as rockets need a large amount of fuel to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity. The exact amount of fuel needed would depend on the specific rocket and launch conditions.
Pound per gallon of jp-54?
The density of Jet A and JP-54 fuel are approximately 6.8 pounds per gallon.
How much fuel does space shuttle burns per minute on launch?
about 98,348 gallons per minute of all fuels used combined.
How much does jet fuel cost per pound?
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
How much fuel does a single rocket launch use?
The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.
How much money does jet fuel cost per pound?
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
